Re: [en] Evaluating Accessibility: Meeting Key Challenges - Online Research Symposium, 16 November 2023

Hello AJ,

Central Europe time has already changed from Daylight savings time to standard time. US will change this coming Sunday. So there is an extra hour difference today than there will be for the symposium.

The times for the symposium on 16 November seem correct to me.

Thanks,

The start time as 2:00 PM CET with an end time of 5:40 PM. The current time is shown as 4:41:40 PM - if the event were today, it would still have an hour remaining. The right panel has the converted time, with the start time as 7:00 AM CST with an end time of 10:40 AM. The current time is 10:41:40 AM. If the event were today, it would have ended.
